As close to perfection as you can get.

This was our second year at Blue Reeds. Everything about this house is perfect. Carolyn and Harvey have thought of everything and once again we had a wonderful, relaxing week. Can't wait to go back next year!

Awesome vacation house!

We had a terrific week in Broadkill Beach!! This beach house is very well equipped and big enough for everyone to spread out and also to be together. The screened in porch was lovely. We were able to grill out and do all our meals at the house in the nice kitchen. A major highlight to the trip were the donuts at the Broadkill Beach store on Saturday and Sunday and the homemade cinnamon rolls on Tuesday. We preordered them on Monday and rode the bikes down to pick them up on Tuesday morning because they sell out fast. They were TERRIFIC!! Our dog loved the house and the beach. We spent a few days on the beach by the house and a other days we drove 15 minutes to Cape Henlopen State Park to be at the ocean which was very nice too. The park has a nice bathhouse and snack shack and lifeguards on duty. We also loved the town of Lewes. We had two lunches there and some terrific ice cream at Kings Ice Cream and there is a terrific kids toy store on the Main Street in Lewes. We were able to get two great games to play with the whole family for a reasonable price. My 17 year old son was also able to join a gym for the week in the town of Nassau, DE called Anytime Fitness right before Lewes which was about a 10 minute drive from the beach house. He is an athlete and enjoys working out regularly. We also loved the upper deck off of one of the bedrooms at the beach house. They have equipped this house with everything you would want or need. We also loved the kayaks. We took them out to the beach with the nice pullable thing they had and had a great time with them in the bay. The owners were great to deal with. There are a few horseflies here and there depending on the time of day and if there is a breeze or not, but a little bug spray took care of them for us. We will miss waking up and drinking our coffee looking out at all the birds at Blue Reeds in Broadkill Beach. This place is a gem!

Gorgeous and ready for guests!

This property was absolutely beautiful! The view from the back was something we took in very frequently! Simply gorgeous. Everything was as described in the online VRBO advertisement. The "toys," bikes, chairs, etc. were a wonderful perk. Several of us used the bikes and we all used the beach chairs. The kitchen is well-stocked, but it took a while to learn where everything was stored. Everything we needed in the way of accessories, spices and cookware was available. The only problem we had was that the elevator was not in working order during our stay. There were two older folks with us (one with a severe visual impairment and the other with mobility issues) who had difficulty with the stairs. The elevator would have relieved a lot of discomfort and worry for us all since you must climb approximately 20 stairs to get into the home.

We would definitely rent this place again. It was ideal for our family reunion and the location was perfect for us.

Wonderful home

We had a wonderful family vacation in this beautiful home - 7 adults and 1 child. Lots of space for everyone to spread out - the "great room" alone is worth renting this house! And a beautiful place to watch sunsets. So great that it accommodates dogs easily, with crates provided and a fenced in yard. Gorgeous and relaxing views of the wildlife refuge and the lovely, uncrowded beach just across the road. Beautifully decorated house. Love the Broadkill beach community and would love to come back.

One note: the HomeAway listing said linens are provided, but in fact they are not.

If you like birds, you will love Blue Reeds!

Nestled among cedars that whispered in the breeze, Blue Reeds was an ideal place to escape the drumbeat of daily life and settle into a more relaxed rhythm. The kitchen and living room offered ample space to share food preparation, delicious meals and lots of laughter. From its wraparound deck, we enjoyed sunlight, moonlight and breezes as well as the ever-changing tableau and symphony of the marsh. We loved the shady screened porch even in the heat of the day. Birds of all sizes and colors waded and dipped in shallow water beneath the balcony or soared high above: ospreys, an eagle, willets, migrating shore birds, egrets, great herons and more. At night, in the distance, we heard whippoorwills and owls above the cheerful din of frogs. We enjoyed the kayaks, bikes and grill and the wonderfully stocked kitchen. Other great features include:

• The elevator –A great help to our aging parents, who appreciated this safe, convenient way to avoid stairs when they were tired or uncertain of their balance

• Private beach access just across the road

• A wide beach for walking

• Very little traffic

• Helpful owners who promptly answered our occasional emailed questions while we were there and offered detailed information about the house and area before we arrived

This beautiful, well equipped house was a wonderful place for our family gathering. Built with meticulous craftsmanship, respect for its natural setting, and a keen awareness of the need for safety throughout, Blue Reeds will exceed your expectations. It certainly exceeded ours.

Beautiful home and setting

This home had everything our family needed, especially the pet friendly environment. Our pets were able to enjoy the beach and the home's grounds safely. The fenced in yard kept them contained, as well as containing adventurous children! Spectacular views of the marshlands from the great room were a treat. Lots of "extras" were provided, like bikes, kayaks, beach chairs and dog crates. A lovely place to relax.
